Chapter 40 Chapter fifteen

Outside the yamen of the governor's mansion, the sedan chairs and horses are like dragons.The civil and military officials of each yamen in Guangzhou paid their respects to Mr. Di and went to their offices.Follow Di Gong's order, strictly prevent the rioters from causing trouble, strengthen inspections and rectify.Supervision, alarm and other urgent tasks. Qiao Tai hurried to the yamen in a sedan chair, and almost killed Ni Tianji's mansion in one breath, but fortunately Tingye and Dana rescued him and reported a scene. Mr. Di secretly ordered the arresting officer to quickly arrest Manser and bring him to justice.

"Ahad and Aziz are the names of the two strangers on Mr. Liu's bill. Qiaotai, go back to the government hall to rest, and I will call the medical officer to treat you." Qiao Tai waved his hand and said, "No, I have to appear on the scene. If Manser is not caught, I won't sleep well, and I won't eat well." Di Gong had no choice but to agree to Qiao Tai.Then he said: "You must bring Ni Tianji to the yamen to see me. Manser wants to kill you in Ni's house, and the two of them are at loggerheads. Ni Tianji and the blind girl seem to be in the same party, only with Manser against the enemy."

As soon as Qiao Tai left, Bao Kuan staggered into the Yamen and fell to his knees.With a sob, he said, "Master Di, Zhuo Jing was killed." Di Gong was shocked and ordered the Chinese army to report to Wen Kan.He said again: "I will follow Bao Xianggong to the mansion for a personal inspection." Bao Kuan said with a mournful face, "I just heard the news that Zhuo Jing was killed not in She Xia, but in a house behind Fa Xing Temple." Wen Kan was talking with Yao Taikai, when he heard that Mrs. Bao was killed, he was shocked and rushed to the front hall of the yamen together with Yao Taikai.

Di Gonggong asked: "Mr. Bao, can you hear clearly where the garden house is?" "Li Jia came to report just now, and he was talking about the address of the house. I think it is correct." Seeing Wen Kan's arrival, Duke Di asked, "Does Dudu Wen know the garden house behind the Faxing Temple? Where is that?" Wen Kan shook his head and didn't know.Yao Taikai cried out: "What? There is a house behind Faxing Temple?" "Could it be that Mr. Yao knows that place?" Duke Di was startled. "To be honest, Mr. Di, that's my annex. Fanshang and I sometimes discuss business in that annex, but usually it's mostly free..."

"Hold on, Mr. Yao will lead the way at this moment, and we will rush to the scene to inspect together." "Oh, I haven't asked yet, how did Ling Hu get killed?" Duke Di asked Bao Kuan again. Bao Kuan said: "I heard from Lijia that a silk scarf strangled him from the back. There is a silver coin at the end of the silk scarf." Qiao Tai suddenly remembered something, and Fuer Digong said: "Yesterday, Mr. Yao told me about the annex, which is behind the Faxing Temple. It's called 'Kaiyanju'. It seems to be the place where the golden house hides its beauty. Make an appointment with me in the future. Let's go play together."

Bao Kuan's ears were sharp, and he caught Qiaotai's voice again, and suddenly shouted: "I understand! The mother-in-law must have gone there to meet that thief Ni Tianji in private. ——The two of them have known each other for a long time, and they have hooked up ever since. Could it be that she is the one today? I went to a meeting with the surname Ni, but was killed by that thief! Master Di, you must avenge me." Di Gong frowned and said: "Mr. Bao must have a limit to his words. I haven't seen the real scene, so I'm afraid it's inappropriate to speak such nonsense. Even if Ling Yu is going to meet Ni Tianji, there may be other reasons, and there may not be a tryst. We should not easily conclude that Ni Tianji committed murder."

Bao Kuan's eyes were straightened, as if he was in a trance.He also said: "My mother-in-law knows that I will discuss matters in the yamen in the afternoon, and I can't come back for a while, so she went to meet that wild man again. It's so hateful, it's not a pity to kill him." He took a long breath again. "Perhaps it was because the mother-in-law felt remorse, and the person surnamed Ni became murderous—" Di Gong was impatient, and shouted: "Don't worry about it again, is the sedan chair ready?" The Chinese army kowtowed: "It's already ready."

"Get on the sedan chair!"
